2.0 out of 5 starsPoor grammatical writing

I keep wondering if this book was translated from another language because the English grammar is very poor. The story is good and would rate more stars, but the grammar problems really take away the value of the story.

Some examples are: (non-grammatical) at one point the story talks about one of the characters meeting his colleague; only trouble is the character is a female.

Some other examples:

"She was used to be surprised by arguments..." How about "She was used to being surprised by arguments..."

"So why the Selector exists, if not to ...." How about "So why does the Selector exist, if not to ..."

Then there is this one, with so many mistakes "... I'm just trying to be practical," tried to sound sympathetic when looked in his eyes. "I have work to help people, please don't have this bad impression of me." How about "... I'm just trying to be practical," Kath tried to sound sympathetic when she looked in his eyes. "I work to help people, please don't have a bad impression of me."

There's many more throughout the story...almost every page has issues. Some sentences even have words left out of them.

It is hard to read with all the errors, but I'm going to see if I can finish the tale....the idea sounds interesting and I really want to see what the author does with it, but the errors are really making it difficult to read.

I highly suggest having someone proofread the work and put out an update to it.

I found the story itself very interesting, if a little short. Unfortunately, the translation into English needs improvement. There wasn't any confusing about meaning, but the grammar errors became very distracting.

The premise of the book is very interesting! It's not hard to imagine a future like this, it made ''me think. The entire book has only one story broken up into closed chapters in sequence. Could be a movie or a series, who knows.
